I just met Karna and Justin (of Karna&Justin) and Mimi (Firelilly) this past Sunday as we met up to ride out at Carnegie. Not only did I meet these great people, but I met some of their family members and they in turn got to meet the friends that I normally ride with. We had a good-sized group going there, and I sure hope you all had as much fun as I did!!
I think the catalyst for this meet up was the upcoming Ladies Riding School in Oregon. Turns out 5 of the women attending the school live right here in the area, so it made sense for all of us to get together and meet and do some riding and broaden our social horizons. A few emails, a few phone calls and it all came together!
Karna and Mimi - you are both awesome riders and although I couldn't keep up with you, Jen sure seemed to get a lot out of being pushed past her limits. That big smile on her face said a lot.
Mimi, your boyfriend Buddy is terrific and I really appreciated him letting me ride around with he and his three great kids while the rest of you were up in the hills riding the knarly stuff. I'm glad he talked me into going back up that one hill I looped on last week because I was avoiding it altogether.
(Quote from Karna: "Do you consider that hill steep, Natalie?") Hey.......!
Karna, it did not get past me that everytime we headed in one direction or another, you went straight for the rockiest, most obstacle strewn path you could take. Sure hope I find your confidence one day! I'm glad I got to at least SEE your trials bike in your garage when I picked you up in the morning, but you know we all really want to see you demonstrate it....and BTW, you were a good sport about Greg nick naming you "Karna Sutra".
At the end of the day, I was contemplating the fact that if it were not for the DRN connection, I might not have met you guys, nor your family members. I had so much fun, it would have been a loss to have missed out on this day!
Here's to more future rides together!!
